EVIDENCE or FOUL PLAY.
The Remains 81 George Bradt IdentiAed.

diet Of Murder BY a. In.
Known Party.

From parties in from the Judith country
we learn something further in relation to
the discovery Of the remains Of George
Bradt. mentioned in last weeks issue.
There seems to be no doubt but the young
man was murdered for his money, as he
WAS known to have everal hundred dollars
on his person when he left Utica. The con-
ditiOn in which his body was found clearly
points to foil play. 1t seems that the re-
mains were found in what il known in that
section us Waite creek. instead Of Ante
iope. and were discovered by the Wight
brothers while grouse hunting up near its
head. One Of the boys saw boot near .
whereupon earch was made and the body
found cached in a hole between two rocks.
with a rope around the neck Of the dead
man which was fastened in a crevice, un-
doubteslly to prevent the body from fall
ing out. b. uises were found on thu body
giving evidence Of its being dragged some dis
tsnce to the place Of concealment. The
saddle tn the horse he wan riding when he
left on that fatal day, WIS found some dis
lance from the body under q tree. Near
the body was found large coil Of rope,
upon which were brown spots resem-
bling blood.
A coroners inquest was held over the re-
mains and a verdict rendered that the de-
ceased was murdered by someone unknown
to the jury.
There is hardly any question but that
George Bradt was murdered and his re-
mains dragged to that secluded spot tn
prevent discovery. lie left Utica. with the
intention of going to Helena. but he could
not have crossed the mountain range at ~
near the point where his remains were
found. even il il had been his purpose Ia
take "a trail. Friends OF the deceased will
make AN effort to ferret out the matter
and, IL possible. bring the murderer Ia
justice.

ARIZONA MINERALS.
soeeimeus Wanted for the American Ef-
 position in London.

The mineral resources of Arizona as a general thing are little knowu outside of our own territory, whilst It IS uniVer- saIly admitted that We have one of the 0restest mineral terri.oriesin Amerlcs' Set circumstances in the past htve been snch that We could not avail ourselves or the magnificent gift which nature has stored in our midst. Besides the Tomb stone district which is the best known mining section of our territory, there are great mineral deposits 10 every couh- ty in Arizona. All that is needed ct the present time is little infusion of the en- er0y and enterprise of older mining regions, with thIs will come an influx or capital which will result m placlng our torrit0ry in the front rank of minersi producing countries. Now an opportuni- iy is offered our citizens who have the best interests of our erritory as heart Co glye her A lift in the proper direction. Ihis splendid opportunity may never aghin be within their grasp. Professor A. E, Foote of Philadelphia, whose splendid mineral exhibit at New Orleans was the admiration of the world wlll now turn his attention to the Mammoth American Exposition. which will commence ID London May next. The Professor will undoubtedly present to the sdmiring gaze of the world at thai exposition the finest display of mineral ever exhibited. If the mining men of Arizona desire to have samples of our vanderful mineral deposit exhibited at that Exposition sn opportunity IS now offered. Professor Foote arrived in Tombstone last even ing and left on this mornings stage for Bisbee and will return to this city on Sunday next, We would suggest to the people who are interested in the mineral wealth of AriZOos (and vho is nots) to bring amples from their respective mines and leave them st the assay office of Frank Earle who is the authorized agent of Professor Foote, Mir. Earle will see that the specimens sre properly labeled ahd cared for. A better selection than Frank Earle for this position c5uld have been made. Don't be lax in producing your speci- mems; it is the one great chance Arizona will have of being properly represented in the grsndest Mineral Exposition the world hss ever known. and the results are inoslcuable. The English people gre interested in everything that is "American, and an attendance of up wards of ten million of tho wealihles. people on the globe, people whe invest largely in mining matters of the world. -Epi.sph.

Reasons for Supporting Local Papers.

The local paper IS an absolute neces- sily to the oiiy and county in general where t is published. All the city papers cannot supply the place of home paper. That should be the first love Ot every man and wOmsn-vith the home paper they stand locally iden- tided. The local paper glves the c..y and community much news of import ance ID the world and gIves in detail news whick cannot be gained by any other source. Every days issue of the psper IS 30 much history and the rise. growth and prosperity of the city and county can only be recorded by the local paper thst IS constantly gathering m it's items. People do not properly sppre- ciste these home inducements through the local paper, they measure the value of a paper too much by the number of columns It contains. The local paper ct any price is the cheapest paper one csn pstronize. Another object is to be taken into consideration. Every town has one or more newspapers; hence the circulation must be limited. There is therefore the greatest need of activity and enterprise on the part of the citi- zens to give their local paper vigorous and substantial support-ExchsDge.
